exempting a final

means you don't have to take it because your grade is high enough that the teacher thinks you know enough of the material so you don't need to waste your time on studying.
you are not allowed to exempt math and foreign language finals because those will probably be pretty hard and stress-inducing and teachers would definitely not want carefree students right before break.
Now, I am been a  wonderful student this semester and am currently I am in standings to exempt 3 of my finals (not including math and spanish, because you just can't), which usually entails a 95% average for the semester, possibly with a gold card. which is a little card they give you when you have good grades to let you know that you are better than everyone else. And I am 0.4% away from exempting another final.
Let's start with my history final, I am definitely not taking it because history is my favorite class so I get good grades, yay. I also have a like 96 average in my chem class, but a couple days ago my chem teacher was like "you guys can't exempt the final because you can take the class for college credit" and the entire class goes "WHATATTTTTTTTT" because a lot of the kids in my class are doing pretty good and I'm also taking history for college cred & as said before I'm not taking it, plus I am not even taking this class for college credit. also may I mention that this is not a college level class, it's community college credit so it just counts a credit, but like a "I need a science but I failed chemistry in high school so I have to take it again at this community college so I can know enough to pass the lowest level of college credit chem" class. So we start yelling at him and he says "I'm just doing what the department head tells me to do". really chem teacher? you are going to wait until right now to do what everyone tells you to? so you teach us your "own way" so that none of my friends in other chem classes know what I'm talking about, openly bash all school sports other than football, and say ra-tard in fron of the special needs girl in our class, but you wan't let us exempt the final? way to stick to the status quo.
next is one that it simply the most frustrating thing that has ever happened to me ever. I have no idea what my grade in child development is. My stupid teacher's brain is clearly not developed enough to use a computer because I have only ever heard about my grade once when it was mandatory to email them out. and she won't tell us what they are in class, because she is an idiot. but anyway, last I checked my grade was a 98% , so I clearly don't have to take the final. and on the last test I got 112% so clearly I know stuff. So I have been harassing her about exempting the final, and after 2 weeks of avoiding me she is like "I'm not going to let all of you exempt the final even though about 65% of you have over 100 because the girls in the advanced class have to take a statewide test"
...... just take it in.... that was her reason.....
so after she told me, I quietly walked back to my chair and looked for a way to outlet the pure rage that was bubbling up inside the very deepest realms of my soul. I asked my friend for a piece of gum and furiously chomped on it even though we aren't allowed to have gum in her class. eff her rules. I have never missed more than 2 on any of her tests and she is making me take an entire final, not because it was unfair that the girls had to take a test and we didn't, but because they did really crappy on it and she is making us take this final as a "practice test" so when we take the advanced class next year we will do better!
over my dead, cold, being eaten by hogs on the battlefield body I will take this class again next year.
and before I start tearing apart the keyboard, my english teacher currently won't let me exempt the final because I have to have a 95 both quarters and I have a 97 and a 94.1. it would totally average, but that would be easy.

So now that you've listened to me whine about my good grades and how I have to take another test :(((((
I hope everyone is doing well on their finals and does do well or did do well!
finals are evil

Cheers,
Cayla
